From Digital Spy

The first full synopsis for Vin Diesel's Bloodshot has been revealed as the film teams up with the Game4Paul fund-raising charity.

PR Newswire have reported that the upcoming superhero film is selling a wide range of signed merchandise from the movie, which will help support Reach Out WorldWide's (ROWW) mission to provide natural disaster relief around the globe.

Some of the items include signed posters, comics and a custom-painted Xbox One.

The article goes on to share a full synopsis of the Valiant Comics adaptation.

It reads: "Ray Garrison aka Bloodshot, a deceased soldier resurrected by weapons contractor Rising Spirit Technologies through the use of nanotechnology. Suffering from total memory loss but imbued with an array of staggering new abilities, Ray struggles to reconnect with who he was while learning what sort of weapon he has become...aided by a team of fellow augmented combatants codenamed Chainsaw."

Diesel himself will be playing Bloodshot, and he'll be joined by Outlander star Sam Heughan, Guy Pearce and Baby Driver's Eiza Gonzalez.

There are currently no details about what characters the majority of the actors will play, but the film is in pre-production and is expected to start shooting in July.

Bloodshot will give Dave Wilson his directorial debut, while Diesel will be collaborating on the project with executive producers Matthew Vaughn (Kingsman: The Golden Circle) and Dan Mintz (Iron Man 3).
